I probably can't afford most of the pieces I will mention today but I don't know about you. I still love looking at beautiful pieces even if it's just for the purpose of getting inspired.

I found them, I found them!!! That's what I yelled when I finally spotted the limited edition prints behind a stash of art and mirrors in my walk-in-closet. "Le Cattedrali Del Giubileo" limited edition prints my dad gave me a long time ago. He received them as a present and had no room for them and I just thought I might need them. After 20 years I finally have a spot for them. And I have the ...

Well that title is a mouth full! Say that fast three times. I didn't know what else to name it because that's exactly what it is.
I've had this empty space right by the fireplace where I removed the colorful abstract art I painted. I just needed a change especially for the holidays.
I had found these big pinecones at the beach and photographed one of them on white poster board background and ...

How was your week. I was so happy that I got to do some creative things again like painting and having a fall tour which are the good things about blogging. The bad things are the behind the scene work with the computer. There is just so much that I don't like. And when there are times where those are in the majority I'm not enjoying it anymore at all. I love to tinker around and I got at least ...

After my cheap DIY art post on Wednesday (click HERE if you missed it) I noticed that there was an increased interest for the downloadable art which I also posted about for those of you who don't want to DIY art. HERE and HERE are the black and white downloadable abstracts I shared.
So I thought I'd share some more great shops with really pretty downloadable art and they are all for under $6! ...

Sorry folks but I have another bathroom post for you today because I really wanted to have some art in the bathroom too. That actually also made me wonder if you'd rather have a makeover in real time progress or if you'd have the crazy all-done-makeovers that some other blogs do. It's not realistic but I could try if you like that better, ya know!
So here it goes!
I always look for great ...

With the patio style challenge finally submitted, I feel like I can breath a little bit better and I just need to do something a little more relaxing. Painting on canvas has filled that void. I used to paint a lot when I was younger but it's been on the back burner since moving into a house, kids and blog DIYing. And now that I started doing it a little more again, I think I have to say that I'm ...

Sorry my friends that I'm having a different schedule this week, or should I say lack of schedule ;) I guess Tuesday, Thursday and Friday it is for this week and I hope you liked reading my hubby's interview. (Click HERE if you missed it)
I hinted on Instagram yesterday that I was thinking about framing some Italian cathedral prints that I had in my attic and which came from a limited edition ...

I have a new art print from Minted to share with you that I'm super excited about!
When I was contacted by Minted, I couldn't jump on the chance to pick something fast enough. Their art marketplace selection is awesome and so is the rest of their items.
(Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post but I was provided with the print. All opinions are 100% my own. I only share things with you that ...

I have been working on some things for clients and I of course have to always look at artwork. I have mentioned before that society6 is one of my first stops to check for affordable artwork for the non-DIYer out there.
I came across some really cool prints that I want to share with you. Certainly some of them can be easily DIYed. As always I had to include some animals, you know me ;)
From ...
